XML Editor

Editing XPath expressions for the "match", "select", or "test" attributes is not always straight forward. Oxygen XSLT Editor makes this task easier by showing the proposed list of XPath functions in the Content Completion Assistant, all documented with sections from the W3C specifications.

If you have configured a scenario for the edited stylesheet, then the proposal list contains also the names of the elements from the input document that are currently accepted in the XPath expression.

This view displays the tree structure of the XML document set as input for the current stylesheet in the associated transformation scenario.

You can create templates or other XSLT snippets by dragging the nodes from the tree into the stylesheet. The generated XPath expressions are context aware.

This search is performed for any XSLT component that has references (variables, functions, named templates, attribute sets, etc.) The search scope can be the current file, the project, or all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file.

This search is performed for any XSLT component that has declarations (variables, functions, named templates, attribute sets, etc.) The search scope can be the current file, the project, all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file.

This provides a quick retrieval of all the declarations and references of a component in the current file.

This allows renaming XSLT components such as variables, templates, functions, etc. The user is fully in control of the changes as the modified files are presented in a Diff view that allows inspecting all the changes that will be done before actually performing them. The scope can be the current file, the project, all the imported/included files starting from the current file or from a specified file.

The selection is placed in a new stylesheet that is then included in the current stylesheet.

The selection is placed in a named template and is replaced with a call-template instruction. The variables and parameters used inside the selection will be passed as template parameters.

This allows, for instance, to have the XSLT elements in a different color than the result elements, or the XML Schema elements different from the elements used inside annotations.
